A survey using four questionnaires concerning the library situation and quality of school principal, teachers and librarian was carried out. The sample was drawn girls-only high schools from 6th educational district (representing affluent zones) and 15th educational district (representing underprivileged zones) in Metro Tehran. The data collected were analyzed using SPSS statistical software. No significant link was established between any of the school principal’s qualities with the status of school library. A significant link was found between the status of school library with librarian’s satisfaction with his/her school library and short term librarianship courses undertaken. A direct, significant link exists between teachers’ teaching style with the state of school of library.
