Two research questions were put together for the study. The survey research design was used. The study population consisted of 508 staff members from K.I.L A.B.U, Zaria.

The data collected for this study were analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented in the form of tables and percentages. The results of the study showed that communication skills, knowledge management skills, operational education programs, and regular Information Communication Technology training were the main programs that had the greatest impact on respondents in terms of training and development in K.I.L, It also showed that most respondents indicated a lack of funding for employee representation, and low budget allocations for libraries, lack of more sponsored training programs etc. as the main problems confronting staff during training and development.
