Library Director Departure and Transition Plan
Library Board of Trustees Meeting, item 9, Library Director Departure and Transition Plan: Discussion of the departure of Rino Landa, Library Director, effective August 21, 2026 and the transition plan for library leadership, recruitment, and next steps. [Packet, p. 4]
Tier 3 · Human approved · Updated Aug 23, 2026
Escondido Library Director Rino Landa is leaving the job on August 21, 2026, and library officials are taking up the question of who will lead the library after that date.
The item is a discussion rather than a decision. It covers three things: leadership of the library once Landa is gone, recruitment to fill the post, and what steps follow after that.
The record does not say why Landa is leaving, who would run the library in the meantime, how long hiring a replacement would take, or what any of it would cost. It also does not say what the transition plan proposes, only that the departure and the plan were to be discussed.
