I'd seen photos of this but stumbled across it when I was walking to the museum. This library is built on the site where Peron used to live. Borges was the director of the library and when Peron came back into power, Borges made the library director responsible for livestock control (or something like that). This is not just a place to borrow books from, it is a symbol of an ongoing political battle between the Peronistas and the anti-Peronistas.
