    Borges was recommended for a position as a small librarian in a municipal library in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1937. He categorized over 400 books in one day and enjoyed the work, imagining heaven to be like a library. Borges argued that like the universe, the library is infinite in space. However, in 1946 after a dictatorship was established, Borges was notified he would be transferred from the library. He then began living in a small flat and later went blind in 1974, but became world famous and a cult figure.
