“One is allowed to change the past, but only in the libraries.”
— Jorge Luis Borges

Simplified Meaning:
People can only alter history through the stories and information found in books. Imagine you read a book about World War II; if a mistake is spotted, a new edition of the book can be printed with the correct details. It's different from real life where you can't go back in time and change what happened. So, libraries give us the chance to update and refine our understanding of the past by providing accurate information. If you learn from reliable sources, you make sure that what you know about history is correct. This way, books and libraries help us create a more accurate record of events.
