Library I've used for years suddenly can't be opened by Photos. I've never seen this issue before. See attached screen shot. And I desperately need those photos for paying work. I can open the package contents and see the actual photos, of course there is no logical organization to those folders. And it's a LOT of photos, since Aperture was first released I've been cataloging photos. Would love to recover this.

A reboot will clean out all temporary system and application cache and swap files. If one of them get's corrupted or damaged it can cause a variety of problems. A reboot if the first thing to try. Also it's good to reboot frequently to clear those temporary files. Shutting down each night is a good way to assure the cleaning out of those files.
If a simple reboot doesn't fix the issue a boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac if the next thing to try.
Note: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will assure a successful boot into Safe Mode.

Well, a reboot fixed it. Very odd... But makes me nervous about macOS and Photos. Wish there was a viable option to it.
