Hey there marilynfromhaiku, 


Taking a look at Use a screen saver on your Mac, there is a section that specifies how to set your screen saver up to use your photo library:


  1. "On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Screen Saver  in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
  2. Click a screen saver thumbnail on the right, click Options, then adjust the settings.
  3. The options available vary depending on the screen saver you select.
    • Source: Click the pop-up menu, then choose the pictures to show in the screen saver. You can use pictures that come with macOS or choose pictures from a folder or your Photo Library..."


Have a good one!
