The restoration and cataloguing of O.V. Vijayan's personal library at the Thasrak Memorial Complex has been completed. The collection of over 2,400 volumes, spanning Malayalam, English, Sanskrit, Hindi, and German, has been digitally catalogued and is now accessible to researchers through the memorial's reference section. The library includes Vijayan's annotated copies of Dostoevsky, Kafka, and the Upanishads, with his handwritten marginal notes offering a rare window into the author's intellectual life. Researchers may schedule access through the memorial office.
