Zed Pooh-Bah Registered: 08/27/02 Posts: 2154 Loc: British Columbia, Canada	Hi Uberoi This quote is talking about Ms. Sullivan's main job not her hobby. You could switch to the word vocation without changing the meaning. Quote: "For librarian Maureen Sullivan, the world of libraries is much more than an avocation." James Craven; Groups to Honor Librarian; The Bulletin (Norwich, Connecticut); Jun 20, 2011. Edited by Zed (07/06/11 12:29 PM)
