Your iCloud Photos will automatically sync with your system library (the sync is two-way so anything in the library will also sync to iCloud). If you also wish to include some of those photos into a second library, you'll need to download each individually, share by email, or AirDrop the photos to yourself to include in the library.

You could use a second user account, where you can make the second library your system photos library and sync it with iCloud Photos. Then your iPad Library can remain your system Photos Library in your main account.

Alternately you would have to download the photos using a web browser - download them manually from www.icloud.com to a folder and import them from there to the second Photos Library.
