Descriptive survey research design was used for this study, data was collected by means of a questionnaire form one hundred and seventy-one (171) librarians of fifteen (15) academic libraries in Bayelsa and Delta states. The findings arising from the study are: various factors such competition among staff, job challenges, higher qualifications requirements, financial assistance from employers, self-interest, contribute to staff development in the libraries, most of the library staff received training and development through seminars and workshops, orientation courses, in-service and induction courses and regular programmes. The result shows that training and development brings about job efficiency, motivation and satisfaction.
