Joe Genua spends his year organizing for the book sale at Blackstone Library in Branford. He has been a volunteer with Friends of the Blackstone Library for seven years now and is essential in the process of generating funds to support the library. He does everything he’s needed for, constantly helping in whatever way he can, and involves himself in every part of the book sale (picking up, sorting, and storing books from all over Branford). Joe remarks that the best part of working with any volunteer organization is being “part of a larger mission to help make a difference in the lives of many residents of Branford.”
