It is not possible in Photos, in any version on any device. We cannot remove items from the Library items without deleting them, and then they will vanish from the albums as well.

Enabling the Shared iCloud Photos Library will give you two separate sets of library items, your Personal Library and the Shared library. And we can easily move photos between these two sets of photos, or see them together.

I am using the Shared iCloud iPhotos Library successfully to bhave two libraries on my iPhone and iPad, so I can switch between two different sets of photos.

On widows? Or on some Apple device? If so, which one?
Thank you. Sadly, it doesn't sound as tho i can do what I want, but appreciate the suggested workaround. Now to find time to sit down and get organized!
