Glazer Children’s Museum promotes Big John exhibit and spring reading challenge to Hillsborough students

Sarah Cole, president and CEO of the Glazer Children’s Museum in Downtown Tampa, recorded a short message for Hillsborough County students promoting the museum’s Big John triceratops exhibit and a spring reading program. “Hello Hillsborough County Students! I'm Sarah Cole, President and CEO of the Glazer Children's Museum in Downtown Tampa, and I am here with Big John, the world's largest triceratops, now on display at our Museum,” Cole said in the recorded segment.

Cole read an excerpt from the children’s book Move on Up That Beanstalk that uses a fictional exchange between Jack and a giant named Dennis to introduce basic scientific ideas. In the recording she included the line, “Newton's first law of motion says that objects will stay at rest or in motion until acted upon by a force.”

The message invited students to visit readonmyon.com for more titles and to participate in the museum’s Spring Into Science Reading Challenge “this spring break,” a timeframe mentioned in the recording but not dated more precisely. Cole also highlighted that Big John, described in the message as “the world's largest triceratops,” is on display at the museum in Downtown Tampa.

The recording contained no formal vote or decision by Hillsborough County officials; it functions as outreach and event promotion. No dates, ticket prices, or program eligibility criteria were specified in the transcript provided; those details were not given in the recorded remarks.

For further details such as exact dates, admission, or program rules, the recording directed listeners to readonmyon.com and the Glazer Children’s Museum’s own channels.
