On November 23 the EFEO Center in Chiang Mai skirted disaster on the day after the Yi Peng festival during which one of the innumerable burning "heavenly lanterns" released by celebrants landed on the roof of the Center's new library, whose construction had just been completed. Thanks to the prompt and effective intervention of the Center's team and the local fire department, the fire was controlled, and the damage, only a few days from the shelving of the books, was limited. As planned, the library will still open to the public in the spring of 2011.
