Do what's best for you. Your company does whats best for them
and would not necessarily give you 2 weeks notice if they let you go. Stay professional and continue to work hard for both companies.

Employers contact a temp agency and make a contract for 'X' amount of people, for 'X' amount of time. So the employer already knows when a job will end. However, there are unforeseeable events that can end a job early. Such as a company's financial difficulty. In either case, you're not obligated to tell the company that you're leaving; The temp agency is your employer. And I'm sure the company has already notified the agency about their situation. Just call the temp agency and let them know you've found another job elsewhere. No harm, no foul.
Temp jobs can last from 1 day to months or even years. And whether or not you take a 6-week assignment and leave the first day, will not necessarily become detrimental to future career prospects. Temp agencies can help you gain more skills that are in demand in the workforce. Also, listing jobs that you've stayed with on your resume, explaining your duties and the skills you learned, can help alot.

In a temp job, I think two weeks notice is not really expected. Temps come and go. Just tell them you're sorry, but you have been offered a permanent position elsewhere. I don't think it's a big deal. Two weeks notice is not a legal requirement. It's more important if you have been in a job for a long time and you will need to transfer your responsibilities. You've only been there 3 months and they're going to lay you off soon! Give them as much notice as you can and move on. Hope the new job works out for you.

I don't know how long your work history is but your job that your quitting now is part of it. You mentioned you have 9 days before your new job starts. Give a week (5 days) notice, it's better than one. Some places check your last employers some don't. Keep it so you can always be truthful or don't have to make up some BS excuse, most people can read thru those

Well, if you only give 1 day notice...don't expect a good reference. I would personally recommend giving them a written notice for 8 days, then starting your job on the 9th day. Giving 2 weeks notice is more than just time to hire and train someone else...it is a show of respect to present and future employers. And future employers can (not always) find out if you have not listed all employment.
If the 8 days is not do-able...maybe there is a middle ground that you can figure out with your present employer to still get a good reference and be able to quit early.
Good Luck!

It is important to remember that your "temp" status changes the nature of your employment. The company you are serving now has no ethical or legal obligation to keep you, so you have no responsibility to them beyond common courtesy. Since you have a new job, inform them that you will be able to stay until the new job starts. Don't be snide or rude, thank them for the opportunity that you did have, and walk away with your head up. Good luck with your new job!!!

Since you are currently a temp, you technically could decide to leave anytime you want. You could give them at least a 2 day notice, and since they were going to lay you off, you are actually helping them out

The job is seasonal and you're a temp. They won't miss you.
Be nice, and explain your situation to them. You don't want to burn your bridges, since they can be a nice reference for you in the future.

It's wrong, but you need to do what you need to do. Just know you may not be able to work for that company again.
