Residents in the area served by the Ann Arbor District Library will vote on a $65 million bond proposal to build a new library, the Ann Arbor Chronicle reported.

The proposal, which the library board approved Monday night in a unanimous vote, calls for building the new facility on the site of the current library at Fifth Avenue and William Street in downtown Ann Arbor.

A survey earlier this year showed about 60 percent of residents supported a bond proposal.
