Here are the top 3 stories in Dunedin today:

1. The Dunedin Public Library is holding a Virtual Author Talk with New York Times bestselling YA author Courtney Summers on May 20 at 2 p.m. Summers will be talking about her new book, "I'm the Girl," described as " a masterfully written, bold, and unflinching account of how one young woman feels in her body as she struggles to navigate a deadly and predatory power structure while asking readers one question: if this is the way the world is, do you accept it?" Those interested can register online at the link. (Dunedin Library)
2. Stop by the new City Hall building today at 8:30 a.m. to join the assistant to the city manager, Nicole Delfino, for a tour. Enjoy a cup of coffee while discussing the upcoming business survey. The meeting will last approximately one hour. (Dunedin Chamber of Commerce via Facebook)
