"Subscription services were initially outsourced in the hopes that their longer hours and larger staff could better accomodate the needs of our customers. However, we have found that because of our deep commitment to ensuring our customers our satisfied, we will always be the best people to work with them. No one knows our customers as well as we do, and we're happy to be able to serve them again," commented Circulation Manager Scott Blanchard.
