The John Updike Society has launched a separate website for The John Updike Childhood Home and a separate Facebook page because “the time had come,” society president James Plath said. “This helps us as we move forward with the restoration, the acquisition of exhibit material, the forging of community relationships, and the development of a market for the house as a literary and tourist destination.”

The John Updike Childhood Home webpage is at: johnupdikechildhoodhome.com.

The Facebook page for The John Updike Childhood Home is http://www.facebook.com/johnupdikechildhoodhome.

Please bookmark the former and “like” the latter. There will be, out of necessity, some overlapping, but Updike fans will see things at the Childhood Home webpage that they can’t see on the Society home page.
