Here is someone's attempt at calculating the volume of the library:

Spoilers: it's big. Vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big. You might think it's a long way across the diameter of the observable universe but that's just peanuts compared to the library.

Also, a fun website:

Somewhat shameless shout out about this... My friends father is Steve Peck, the author of "A short stay in hell". It's a short story about a guy who ends up in hell that is this library. Fun weekend read.

That’s awesome. I’ve seen the book around, but didn’t know the connection to the works of Borges.
