We are pleased to present the second program in our popular series, “The Collectors” on Wednesday, June 29th.  Jackie Totin will present games and memorabilia from the extraordinary collection she started to amass when she was eight years old!  She inherited her brother’s Nintendo Power Series, her interest was sparked, she loved the challenges, and the collecting began.

From her place in the store, Klara, an “artificial friend” with outstanding observational qualities, carefully watches the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside. She remains hopeful that a customer will soon choose her, but when the possibility emerges that her circumstances may change forever, Klara is warned not to invest too much in the promises of humans. In Klara and the Sun, Kazuo Ishiguro looks at our rapidly changing modern world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator to explore a fundamental question: What does it mean to love?
