Location: East Regional Library

Phil is a Tar Heel alum who dabbled in several dozen professions before settling on librarianship. He is an independently published fantasy author who is active in the regional writing scene and is slowly figuring out how to convert his love of fantasy football into another secondary career. Phil continues riding his bike to work, even though he’s been struck by moving cars on a number of occasions.
