When our families first arrive into the US, they must undergo a cultural orientation, where we teach them their legal rights, what they can and can't do by law in the US, how to use public transport, what their EBT, Medicaid and SNAP benefits cards look like and so on.

During this cultural orientation it becomes very difficult for the parents to focus with the kids running around and being bored so we ask that a volunteer or two come twice a month to the library when completing the cultural orientations so that the children can be distracted by the volunteer by coloring with them in the back of the room, going to the children's room in the library and playing there, and so on.
