How many keychains would you guess that you’ve had in a lifetime? Each one speaks of a place, a time and an experience.

Jacqueline Ann Rodmell’s collection is filled with such touchstones. The Lacey Township resident has now set her sights on building the world’s largest keychain collection. Samples of her extensive array will be on display throughout the month of September at the Ocean County Library’s Berkeley branch.

“I started collecting keychains when I was 7 years old,” she recalled.
