Lost Photo Library

This past week i went to check a photo and found my iphoto09 library gone.
I checked everywhere and over 5000 photos since kids were small are gone.
I looked at the iphoto09 application and it is showing a date of Apr7th, 2010, which i assume is the the last application update that did something. I was not
running time machine so there is no backup. I am running MAC OS 10.5.8 and
iphoto09 software 8.1.2(424). I saw some hints in the forum about holding the
command key when opening iphoto09 but could not find anything. I cant believe
an update on a MAC would wipe out a full Library. Can anyone assist and tell
me where it may be hidden? Looking for help.

IMAC 24" 2.66GHz Intel Core Duo, Mac OS X (10.5.8), Iphoto 09 s/w ver. 8.1.2(424) update 4/7/10
