• Algonquin Librarian Wins More Than $60K On Jeopardy

This time around, Jen Jazwinski, a youth services librarian at the Algonquin Public Library, brought home $50,000, according to a Shaw Local News Network article. She competed in the "Wildcard Champions" competition, which aired last week.

Jazwinski credits her trivia skills, which helped her through three episodes of the game show in 2021, to growing up with a family that played Trivial Pursuit and to being a librarian, according to the article.

In a Facebook post from last week, Jazwinski's employees with the Algonquin Area Public District shared their pride and support for Jen.

"Miss Jen, we are so proud of you," the Wednesday post read.
