CRYSTAL LAKE – A local librarian is scheduled to appear on the game show “Jeopardy!” later this month, making her the third librarian from McHenry County to appear on the program since 2010.

Julie Zukowski, 41, of Lakewood is scheduled to appear on the show May 24. She has worked at the Crystal Lake Public Library since 2005.

Zukowski took an online test in March 2011 before being invited to Kansas City for an audition in a hotel conference room. There, she quickly figured out that the contestants were being called on in a set order, regardless of when they buzzed in. That made the tryout less nerve-wracking, she said.
