The Library

at Portola Charter Middle School, Highly Gifted Magnet (HGM) &
Academy of Integrated Arts and Technology (AIAT)

Mission Statement

Our mission is to build a community of lifelong learners and readers, providing both an equitable space for the intellectual freedom of all as well as a collaborative space that promotes empathy, understanding, creativity, and fun. By teaching our students to find the joy in reading, to learn about research, digital literacy and critical media skills, and by facilitating an environment of inclusion and curiosity, students will be prepared for school and life beyond it.

Library Hours: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm. On Tuesday from 7:30 am to 2:30 pm. Everyday at nutrition and lunch. After School until 4:15 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Intellectual freedom is the right of library users to read, seek information, and speak freely as guaranteed by the First Amendment. Intellectual freedom is one of the core values of the library profession; it promotes access to information and guides against censorship. From the LAUSD Selection and Review Policy for School Library Materials, from October 7th, 2024.

We are closed for one period every day (usually right after lunch!).
