A country cannot achieve sustainable development without well-organized library systems in institutions of learning and the society at large, which are critical in the delivery of quality education and the training of good citizens. On this premise, the researchers went on a committed study. The major aim of the study was to investigate the current situation of the library information services and measure student satisfaction in fifty schools and colleges located in Dhaka. The research was based solely on primary data collection. Information was collected through carefully designed questionnaires and face-to-face interviews; this is a mixed-method approach, so that we could cover all the opinions of the respondents. The study population was 250 students and 50 librarians. In a few cases, secondary data were also used to add to the primary findings. Analytical findings showed that the major aspects, including infrastructural adequacy, reading conditions, scope of collection, and competence of library staff (30%), experienced a great deal of deficiencies. As a result, most of the libraries did not perform at the desired level of satisfying students (65%). Considering these results, the recommendations urge that every school and college library must provide sufficient and noise-free reading areas, engage qualified librarians, have a modern collection of books of reference, periodicals, and journals, provide fast internet-connected computers, and extensive literacy programs, as well as a variety of activities that would help develop and maintain reading habits among students.
