Library+Policy

=  = =**Hours **= The library is open from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Early closings may occur for scheduled afterschool faculty meetings. Students who need to stay later than 4:30 may contact Mrs. Ryman and arrangements can be made for a time extension. =**Philosophy **= The principal objective of the library at Dobyns-Bennett High School is to provide a student-centered program that supports the mission, goals, and continuous improvement of the school.

The library media center provides the tools necessary for students to develop these skills which are essential for mastering curricular content, critical thinking, and problem-solving. =**Policies **=
