Old Wedding Photo Discovered in Library Book Finds Its Way Back to Family: ‘We Didn't Know This Photo Existed'
A wedding photo was found in a book donated on Saturday, May 31, to the Stirling Heights Public Library in Michigan Sarah Ruggirello recognized the people in the photo as her grandparents Frank and Josephine Ruggirello The couple wed on Sept. 26, 1953 in Detroit and were married for 67 yearsA woman was reunited with a precious memory from the past — all thanks to a library volunteer. A wedding photo featuring a couple in their wedding attire posing along two others was found by the volunteer inside of a book donated on Saturday, May 31, at Stirling Heights Public Library in Michigan, according to WXYZ-TV. As soon as the volunteer spotted it, they worked to reunite the old photo with the family who it belonged to. Luckily the photo held a clue as to who was in it, as written on the back of it were the words: 'Frank and Josephine Ruggirello — Nana Nono,' per the outlet. The photo — both back and front — was posted online on Facebook in the hopes that someone who saw the post would be able to identify who it belonged to. 'We posted, 'Lost & Found love story,' ' Anneliese White of the Stirling Heights Public Library, told WXYZ-TV. 'We were hoping someone might recognize one of the people in the pictures or recognize the last name.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. They eventually got a taker. Sarah Ruggirello told the outlet that the post was brought to her attention by a childhood friend who tagged her in the post and wrote, 'Hey, are these some family members of yours?' Sarah said she recognized the wedding couple in the photo as her grandparents Frank and Josephine Ruggirello, who were married on Sept. 26, 1953 in Detroit. She wrote on Facebook: 'This is my grandma and grandpa on their wedding day! Would I be able to pick it up?' She added, 'My grandpa passed in 2020 and my grandma passed in 2023, and I know my family would love to have [the photo].' 'I was very close to my grandparents,' Sarah told WXYZ-TV, adding that her grandparents had been married for 67 years. 'My whole family, my brother and cousins and I have just such fond memories of them growing up." "We'd go over to their house every Sunday for Sunday dinner and my grandma was a great cook and she would make homemade sauce and meatballs and they were just the best grandparents ever," she added. The library set up a time and place to exchange the photo with Sarah, and she excitedly thanked White who handed over the photo. She shared with WXYZ-TV: 'What's so cool is we've never seen — my dad and I — have never seen this exact photo before. We didn't know this exact photo existed.' As for where she plans to put the photo, she shared, 'I think now I'm going to frame it and display it somewhere in my house just because this was such a cool story and such a cool thing that happened." The library noted that it was unclear who donated the book and that it was routine for volunteers to check books before they are sold in the library's used bookstore. As for how they would describe the wedding photo reunion, White said: "This is definitely a solved mystery with a little bit of romance in it for sure. A feel-good story."

Meta sued by Eminem's publishing company over alleged copyright infringement
Eight Mile Style, a company that owns some of Eminem's most popular songs, is suing social media giant Meta over alleged copyright infringement. The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in Michigan, accuses the Menlo Park-based tech company of storing, reproducing and distributing Eminem's music without obtaining the license to do so. Eight Mile Style, which is based in Ferndale, Mich., is seeking at least $109 million from Meta and a court order to stop several alleged forms of copyright infringement. Music is a big part of social media. On Meta's platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, people add music in photos and videos they share publicly or with their friends and family. But the way social media has changed the way people listen to and discover new songs has also sparked concerns from artists about whether they're fairly compensated. 'Meta's years-long and ongoing infringement of the Eight Mile Compositions is another case of a trillion (with a 'T') dollar company exploiting the creative efforts of musical artists for the obscene monetary benefit of its executives and shareholders without a license and without regard to the rights of the owners of the intellectual property,' the lawsuit said. Meta said in a statement that it has licenses with thousands of partners globally and an 'extensive' global licensing programs for music on its platforms. 'Meta had been negotiating in good faith with Eight Mile Style, but rather than continue those discussions, Eight Mile Style chose to sue,' the company said in an email. Eight Mile Style owns and controls 243 compositions recorded by Eminem, a rapper and music producer that has created popular hits such as 'Lose Yourself.' Meta did remove some of these songs including 'Lose Yourself' from its music libraries, but other versions of the music including a piano instrumental cover and a karaoke version still remain on the platform, according to the lawsuit. Meta not only allowed users who upload these songs to infringe on copyright but knowingly stored and reproduced them in its music libraries so users can use the music in videos and photos, the lawsuit alleges. Users have added Eminem's music in millions of videos that have been viewed billions of times, according to the lawsuit. Meta also unsuccessfully tried to obtain a license for Eminem's songs as part of negotiations with the digital music royalty company Audiam even though the firm didn't have the authority to give them that license. 'Meta executives have actively encouraged such rampant infringement in order to attract as many users as possible to, among other things, make advertising on their services more profitable for themselves,' the lawsuit said. More than 3 billion people use one of Meta's apps daily, and the company makes billions of dollars every quarter from advertising. In the first three months of this year, Meta's revenue reached $42.31 billion, an increase of 16% year-over-year. The company's net income jumped by 35% to $16.6 billion in the first quarter. This isn't the first time Meta has faced legal issues over the use of Eminem's music. In 2013, Eight Mile Style sued Facebook, alleging the social network used the Eminem song 'Under the Influence' for an ad without their consent. ___ © 2025 Los Angeles Times.
