National Friends of Libraries Week
Oct 18 - 24,2026

The Friends of Ruch Library (FORL) volunteer to support the Ruch Branch Library.

Members sort donated books, audio books, puzzles, DVD's and CD's. They are resold at the A-Frame Bookstore, the Book Barn, the Ruch Country Store and the Ruch Hardware Store.

Books are also distributed to 4 Free Little Libraries: Ruch Outdoor Community School (ROCS), Cantrall - Buckley Park, McKee Bridge, and China Gulch Road.

Writing newsletters and articles, creating flyers, posting on Facebook, and working at a FORL sales event are other ways to help us support the Ruch Branch Library.

Volunteering is a rewarding experience and the Friends of Ruch Library may be the right fit for you.

Film Viewing: "House of Threads", 18+YRS

Next Viewing at Ruch Branch Library August 1st, 1 pm.
7919 Hwy 238, Ruch, Or

When Heather Paladini moved into an Applegate Valley farmhouse built more than 120 years ago, she had no idea a network of connections and tragedies lay beneath the surface. But after the discovery of some old letters in her kitchen, she dove down a rabbit hole of research to uncover them.

"House of Threads," an original documentary short produced by Jackson County Library Services, tells the story of her property and search for answers. If houses are historic artifacts, Heather's is a whole museum.
