Here are the top 3 stories today in Dunedin:

1. The Dunedin Public Library offers Homework Help on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays from 2 to 4 p.m. for kids in the area. Teens volunteering with Dunedin Youth provide help to elementary, middle, and high school-aged students on a first-come-first-serve basis. In addition to helping students in the community, the program also allows Dunedin Youth volunteers to earn their hours. "Everyone's really nice here, and they understand what you're not understanding because they just learned it,"said 14-year-old Sophia Rose Kuhlman, who attends Homework Help for math.
