Library of Babel Response

The just of what I got from this short story is that the Library of Babel is an infinite, but countable, amount of information or books. It does a great job of describing the books and how the library looks visually and its structure. Although, when reading it, the fine details in this short story create great confusion for me or many other readers. It makes this library almost impossible to imagine in one's own head. The other thing that I got from it is that the Library of Babel contains every bit of information from every known book, and it's librarian is man itself.
