The Children's Nutrition Collection (CNC) was a LSTA-funded pilot project developed in response to the growing rates of obesity and lifestyle related chronic diseases in children. Through this project a collection of easily accessible, up-to-date nutrition and physical activity materials (chosen based on nutrition education guidelines from the California Department of Education) was compiled to support nutrition education efforts with children ages 4-9 in California libraries, schools and communities. The resulting CNC website features expert reviewed resource books, storybooks, cookbooks, CD’s as well as suggested activities and tips for librarians, teachers, parents and kids.
