Overdue Fine Forgiveness
Nov. 19, 2010 - Jan. 1, 2011
Wayne County Public Library will forgive overdue fines on WCPL children’s library cards from November 19th, 2010 to January 1st, 2011 as our gift to the children this holiday season.
The Library is forgiving over due fines only. If a child has other charges on their account those will need to be paid in full before any overdue fines will be forgiven. Accounts that have been turned over to a collection agency by another library are not eligible to have over due fines forgiven.
This gift is available to eligible patrons under 18 years of age. A child with overdues fines can visit any Wayne County Public Library location or the Mobile Branch and ask that their overdue fines be forgiven. Staff members will explain to the child how they can avoid over due fines in the future and forgive the over due fines on their card so the child has a fresh start for 2011.
For questions regarding these conditions or other library fine questions please contact your local branch.

some new recipes for fall/winter boredom.
Left over candy:
www.candyexperiments.com
Flubber (College of Wooster Recipe)
In a large container (such as a pail) combine
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 cups white glue
Food coloring (whichever color you prefer)
In a second container, combine
1 1/3 cups warm water
3tsp Borax
mix ingredients in each container throroughly
Pour contants of smaller container into large container
Gently lift and turn mixture until only about a tablespoon of liquid is left. Flubber will be sticky for a moment or two. Let excess liquid drop off then Flubber will be ready.
Store in airtight container for 3 weeks.
It in non-edible
Peanut Butter Play Dough
one 18-oz. jar creamy peanut butter
6 tablespoons honey
3/4 cup non-fat dry milk
Mix ingredients together, using varying amounts of dry milk for desired consistencies. Knead it with fingers, forming into desired shapes, adding other foods like M&M's or peanuts for eyes, mouths, etc. Great fun!
Storage: When not using, MUST be stored in an airtight container.
Kool-Aid Play Dough
1 cup flour
1 cup water
1/2 cup salt
3 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
1 package Kool-Aid Mix (any flavor of unsweetened)
1 tablespoon cooking oil
Mix dry ingredients together in a large saucepan. Slowly add water mixed with oil and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens to dough. Turn out onto a heatproof bread board or counter top and knead until cool enough for children to handle. Dough will be the color of the Kool-Aid mix and will smell like the Kool-Aid mix. (Can be stored in a tightly covered container for up to six months)
Jell-O Play Dough
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1 cup water
1 tablespoon oil
2 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
1 (3-1/2 oz.) package "unsweetened" Jell-O
Mix all ingredients together and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until consistency of mashed potatoes. Let cool and knead with floured hands until dry.
Storage: This recipe needs to cool completely "before" storing it in an airtight container!
Oatmeal Play Dough
1 part flour
2 parts oatmeal
1 part water
Mix ingredients together and form into shapes.
Note: The items made from this play dough recipe can be painted when they are dry.
Peanut Butter/Graham Cracker Play Dough
Equal amounts of Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Cream
Graham Crackers
First, have the children wash their hands before beginning so they can safely lick their fingers during this project.
Allow children to crumble up Graham Crackers into crumbs, then set these aside. Let them have just a little touch of the Marshmallow Cream and a little touch of peanut butter to feel the different textures and to lick off their fingers.
Mix the peanut butter and Marshmallow Cream together and have the children notice the change in texture. Cover surface area with wax paper or use a breadboard, let children make into shapes. Roll shapes in Graham Cracker crumbs, then eat!
Storage: When not using, MUST be stored in an airtight container.
Cream Cheese Play Dough
8 oz. package of cream cheese
1/2 cup non-fat dry milk
1 tablespoon honey
crackers or bread slices
Combine cream cheese, milk and honey in a bowl and mix until well blended. Mold sculptures on was paper.
Storage: Unused portions MUST BE STORED in an airtight container and kept refrigerated! Because cream cheese is perishable, use the expiration date on the cream cheese package as your guide for how long you can keep this play dough.
Note: The shapes can then be placed on crackers or bread slices, decorated with edibles (celery or carrot slivers, raisins, dried fruit pieces, nuts, or seeds for a healthysnack... then eat!
Frosting Play Dough
1 can frosting (any flavor)
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
Mix together until dough reaches desired consistency
Storage: When not using, MUST be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. Next time you want to use it, let it come to room temperature for pliable dough.
