Mahakavi
Dekvota Library specializes in available primary
and secondary sources on the life and works
of Laxmi Prasad Devkota. It is at present located
in Poet Devkota's room in Kavi-Kunja. This room
is also the office of Devkota Centre.
The
library has thus far been used specially by
MPhil students of IACER, Pokhara University,
for research on Poet Devkota. A few other interested
people have used it too.
