Army and Air Force Exchange Service officials are scrambling to find another supplier of books and magazines after their current supplier, Anderson News, announced this week that it has stopped operations.

Anderson News has supplied books and magazines for the majority of AAFES stores in the U.S., as it did for a number of other retailers.

Information was not immediately available about whether the shutdown has affected Navy exchanges or Marine Corps exchanges.

The situation does not have an impact on newspapers, Anstey said. Nor does it affect the delivery of books and magazines to AAFES facilities outside the continental U.S.

“We’ve got teams of people in place trying to solve this issue,” he said. “They’re talking with other CONUS-based suppliers.”
