Libraries have not been left out in the use of electronic technology to create, acquire, process, store, preserve, organize and disseminate information. This trend in ICT adoption in libraries has no doubt called for relevant ICT skill acquisition for librarians. Using survey method to collect information from a randomly selected librarians, and analyzing such information with the aid of frequency distribution, simple percentage and regression analysis, findings from the study revealed that ICT acquired by librarian significantly influenced their job performance, and that the use of ICT in libraries significantly influenced the performance of librarians. It is, therefore, recommended that librarians should be trained to acquire relevant ICT skills to improve their job performance.
