It is with deep sadness that we share news of the passing of Library Board Trustee Philip Rosenthal on August 16, 2025, surrounded by his family. He was 82.
Phil’s commitment to his community was steadfast. He had served as the Springfield District Trustee on the Fairfax County Library Board of Trustees since January of 2018 championing literacy, education and access to resources for all residents. Phil was chair of the Library Board’s finance committee and a member of its outreach committee.
After learning of his passing, Library Board of Trustees Chair Suzanne Levy said, “He was such a strong supporter of books for children among other initiatives. We are going to miss his presence on the board.”
“He personally attended many library-related events to support not only his district’s branch, Pohick Regional Library, but also other branches throughout the system. I am truly going to miss him,” said FCPL Director Eric Carzon.
We sincerely thank Phil Rosenthal for his years of service to the community and send our deepest condolences to his family.
