Jen Jazwinski MLIS ’08: two-time 'Jeopardy!' winner

July 13, 2021



Jen Jazwinski MLIS ’08 is a youth services librarian for the Algonquin Area Public Library District. She recently earned over $60,000 during two victorious "Jeopardy!" appearances. Jen called her appearances on the game show "so stinking fun."



Jen said keeping the secret of how the episodes turned out from friends and co-workers wasn't easy, but she was overwhelmed by the support she's received.



"The community in Algonquin has just been amazing," she said. "To have all these people cheering me on, I've cried so many times over the last five days because I didn't expect that. It's just been really lovely."
