En l'occurrence, je rencontrais des gens qui s'intéressent au sujet qui retenait justement mon attention et le but de la réunion était de mieux me préparer — moi et les gens de la bibliothèque — à étudier un sujet qui intéresse le comité.
In this case, I was meeting with individuals who were interested in the subject matter that I was interested in, and the purpose of that meeting was to better prepare myself — and the people from the library — on a subject matter that is of interest to the committee.
