Garrison's Coming to Tucson February 1, 2012 through UApresents! (Show is Sold Out)
Keillor Having Second Thoughts About Retiring
Earlier this year, Garrison Keillor told the AARP Bulletin he was leaving A Prairie Home Companion in 2013. That may have been a bit premature, however. The Star Tribune in Minnesota reported that Keillor told the Sioux City Journal he contemplated quitting the show, "And then it panicked me ... which got me to rethinking the whole brilliant idea.
The show is going well. I love doing it. Why quit?"
Keillor's spokesman David O'Neill confirmed the report. "He doesn't have any specific plans to retire," O'Neill said Saturday. "He's still having a lot of fun doing the show." Keillor will be 70 this year.

Now Showing at Your Library in January
Pima County Public Library in partnership with Arizona Public Media and Community Cinema presents Now Showing at Your Library, which features screenings of films from the Emmy Award-winning PBS Series, Independent Lens.
Daisy Bates was a complex, unconventional, and largely forgotten heroine of the civil rights movement who led the charge to desegregate the all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957.
As a black woman who was a feminist before the term was invented, Daisy Bates refused to accept her assigned place in society. Daisy Bates: First Lady of Little Rock tells the story of her life and public support of nine black students who registered to attend the all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, which culminated in a constitutional crisis — pitting a president against a governor and a community against itself. Unconventional, revolutionary, and egotistical, Daisy Bates reaped the rewards of instant fame, but paid dearly for it.
