Voters at the annual town meeting last night narrowly approved a request to borrow up to $11.7 million, minus any state or federal aid received, to renovate and expand the Grafton Public Library and bring it into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The 523-259 vote surpassed by two votes the two-thirds majority required for passage.

The ballot vote results for the article were announced around 10:30 p.m.

A special election on a debt exclusion will be scheduled by selectmen.

The proposed project’s net cost to the town would be $6.6 million, factoring in a $5.1 million grant awarded by the state Board of Library Commissioners.
