Solution

This refers to the Library of Babel, from a short story written by Jorge Luis Borges. The library in the story contains every single possible 410 page book. Most will be jibberish, but it will also contain every 410 page book ever written or that ever will be written.

This concept has been made into a on online version: https://libraryofbabel.info/

We can find the book, on hexagon given by the content of the text file, wall 4, shelf 4, volume 28, page 355.
