We read Megillas Rus on Shavuos because it was written to document the  
yichus of Dovid Hamelech and Dovid Hamelech was born and niftar on  
Shavuos.
Shulchan Aruch w/Mishnah Brurah 490:9, see also Shaarei Tshuvah 494:3

The Ollelos Ephraim says that one who dedicates a new Sefer Torah to a  
shul on Shavuos is considered as if he "brought a Korbon Mincha to  
Hashem in its right time".
Shaarei Tshuvah 494:3
