It looks like APDEN is following a zone pattern like that of IASL which is
based more on economics than geography (see the IASL Zone lists here:
https://iasl-online.org/member_info.html#zones).
If you think that Malta should be moved up into Zone A, Joseph, just let
the organizations know why, and our Boards will certainly consider it!

Dear friends and colleagues,
I am posting the message below at the request of Valérie Glass from APDEN,
the Association in France which works with school (teacher) librarians
"Dear colleagues,
APDEN – the national association of French *professeurs documentalistes*
– is pleased to inform you that it is now possible for teachers and
librarians in charge of a school library abroad to subscribe to our
organization.
The organization which was founded in 1972 and which is open to teachers
in secondary schools as well as higher education is a place of reflection
concerning our practice and also about the future of the profession.
Every third year, a congress of *professeurs documentalistes* is
organised. The last one was held in Limoges in october 2015 on the
subject : “Teaching information and documentation : Didactic process and
teaching approaches in order to develop a culture of information amongst
students.”
Twice a year, APDEN also publishes the professional journal MEDIADOC which
is devoted to the important issues that underline our profession. The aim
is to publicize the *professeurs* *documentalistes* working/teaching
practises as well as scientific research (researchers, teacher training,
doctors thesis) that feed the fields of education and the information and
communication sciences.
Each issue is centered on a theme that is built according to the current
problems that cross the professional culture of the *professeurs*
*documentalistes*. Various contributions and also texts concerning the
international context are welcome within the pages
The subscription includes participating in the mailing lists as well as
the two Mediadoc issues for a year.
The membership form is attached along with the different rates. For
