Oldie but a good one (for my area):
The Odonata of Canada and Alaska (1)
By Edmond M. Walker, Philip S. Corbet
(now reprinted by) University of Toronto Press
I think the above goes down to species, but I still need to get a copy (wishlist, but its a big chunk of change) Just to genus should not be to hard for many. I poked into our 'lab' and our aquatic invert gal has the following with small sections on Odonata:

Odonate texts

We use a number of different texts (keys) in bioassessment. Here are a few of the biggies.

For dragonflies:
Needham, J. G., M. J. Westfall, Jr., and M. L. May. 2000. Dragonflies of North America. Scientific Publishers, Gainesville. 939 + xv p.

This text has recently been revised. I haven't seen the updated version yet. I believe it's available through BioQuip.

For damselflies:
Westfall, M. J., and M. L. May. 1996. Damselflies of North America. Scientific Publishers, Gainesville, FL. 649 p.

For both:
Tennessen, K. J. 2008. Chapter 12: Odonata. [pp. 237-294]. In: R. W. Merritt, K. W. Cummins and M. B. Berg (editors), An introduction to the aquatic insects of North America, fourth edition, xvi + 1158 pp. + 39 color plates. Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company, Dubuque, Iowa.

There are a number of regional texts which might help such as:
Daigle, J. J. 1992. Florida dragonflies (Anisoptera): a species key to the aquatic larval stages. State of Florida Department of Environmental Regulation 12(1):1-29. [this text and PDFs of other Florida aquatic arthropod texts are available at http://www.dep.state.fl.us/labs/cgi-bin/sbio/keys.asp].
