Santa Monica, California – The Santa Monica Public Library is pleased to present an evening with rocker Don Felder, longtime guitarist for The Eagles, on Monday, August 4, 2008, at 7:00 p.m., in the Main Library’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Auditorium, 601 Santa Monica Blvd.  
 

The Eagles are the bestselling, and arguably the tightest-lipped, American rock group ever, and their iconic Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971–1975 is the bestselling album of all time in the U.S. Through breakup and comeback, arguments and lawsuits, their popularity has continued to soar for more than three decades. Now band member and guitarist, Don Felder, takes the fast lane to the Santa Monica Public Library and breaks the Eagles' years of public silence.  Along with interviewer David Rensin, he will take fans on a behind the scenes tour through his new book, Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles (1974-2001).
 

A book sale and signing will follow.
 

Admission is free.  Tickets will be available one hour prior to event.  No reserved seating is available, and guests must be on hand to receive an Auditorium ticket.  Seating is first come, first served.  The Santa Monica Public Library is wheelchair accessible. For special disabled services, call Library Administration at (310) 458-8606 at least one week prior to event.
