Now, Ms. Counts and all of her librarian colleagues have really been at the forefront of comics advocacy, really since the early '80s, when a school library journal article stated that the mere presence of graphic novels in the library increased usage by about 80 percent and increased the circulation of noncomics material by about 30 percent.
Gđa. Counts i njezini kolege u knjižnici bili su, zapravo, prvi zagovornici stripova, još od ranih 80-ih godina, kada je jedan članak u školskim novinama iznio podatak da je sama prisutnost grafičkih romana u knjižnici povećala promet knjižnice za oko 80% te posudbu ne-stripovske građe za oko 30%.
