The study employed Hertzberg’s Theory as a framework for evaluating motivation and job satisfaction of teacher librarians in FCT. The entire population of teacher librarians from all secondary schools within the FCT was used. The population consisted of 164 teacher librarians, 80 from government schools and 84 from the private schools. Two (2) research questions were formulated to guide the researcher. Both were analyzed using simple percentages, represented on tables and graphically illustrated. In the same vein, one (1) hypothesis was also formulated to guide the researcher. The use of survey method was adopted in carrying out this study. The instrument used for the study was the questionnaire method which was divided into three sections. Section 1 dealt with social demographic data, section 2 dealt with information on motivational packages while section 3 sampled for information items on factors of job satisfaction. Responses on the questionnaire were in line with five point Likert scale type rating scale and analyzed descriptively. Data collected were statistically analyzed using SPSS package and tables with graphic illustrations. The result of the study revealed that teacher librarians are satisfied with the motivational facilities provided within the schools. However, the findings also revealed that teacher librarians were not motivated with the areas of sponsorship and the incentives provided. Similarly, the teacher librarian also indicated high level of job satisfaction with personnel interaction, in the area of institution and environmental factors as well as interpersonal relationship, there was however, no significant relationship between motivation and job satisfaction of teacher librarian within the FCT. It was recommended that the application of motivational factors for enhancing teacher librarian performance in the secondary school should be increased and sustained since it was found to increase their level of job satisfaction in this study among other recommendations.
