Origins of Bad Axe: What's in a Name? Some Michigan towns, such as Bad Axe, have odd names. In 1861, Rudolph Papst and George Pack found a beat-up axe while surveying a state road through Huron County. Papst wrote "Bad Axe Camp" in his survey notes and on a sign placed on the trail. A post office opened there in 1870 with the name Bad Axe. The county board of supervisors platted the village and made it the Huron county seat in 1873.

Dear Library Colleagues, Please share widely: Send out the ravens! “Winter Has Come”: A Game of Thrones Event, featuring George R.R. Martin’s *A Song of Ice and Fire* books and the HBO series that these books inspired, will once again be returning to the Pinckney Library for its fourth and penultimate year. On *Tuesday, August 29, 2017*, *from 6:30pm to 8:30pm*, prepare to be transported to the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros! “*Shall we begin?*“ – Daenerys Targaryen As with previous years, the first part of the program is “family friendly” and open to guests of all ages: · *Ring of Steel* – this presentation is paid for by the Friends of the Pinckney Library and is an hour and forty minutes show by the well-renowned action theatre and acting troupe. Members will demonstrate a few fighting styles, weapons and stunts from Game of Thrones. · *Photo Booth* – Strike a pose next to The Night King, Daenerys Targaryen or Jon Snow, King in the North, and take home a keepsake photo from our event! · *Game of Thrones** and A Song of Ice and Fire Trivia Games*—win for the honor of your House!

Following the performance from Ring of Steel, we will have a discussion of HBO’s Game of Thrones TV Series, with a focus on episodes from the penultimate Season 7—because we are all Unsullied now! We’ll also speculate on what’s to come for our beloved characters based on what’s been written by George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire book series.

Best practices reminder for Michlib-l
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

Greetings Michigan Library Community, This is a best practices update for posting to Michlib-l. We welcome your participation on Michlib-l. There are a few guidelines that help improve the experience for everyone: 1. Please keep in mind when composing your messages that attachments are removed from posts for digest subscribers and in the archives. For maximum reach, embed the text you wish readers to see in the body of your message. If an attachment is especially important for its images, formatting or other reasons, upload it to your website and then link to it in your message to Michlib-l. 2. Do not post replies that are meant for one person to the entire list. You can accomplish this by using the "Reply" feature and not "Reply All." 3. If you ask for group input on a topic, offer to collect the responses and then re-post them to the list so everyone can benefit. Be sure to embed those responses in the body of your message. And, of course, a little patience goes a long way. We've all accidentally posted something to a list that was only meant for one person so gentleness with each other is helpful as well. Have a fabulous day in Library Land, Sonya Sonya Schryer Norris Library of Michigan 702 W.
