iPhoto, Upgrades, and Yosemite

I have iPhoto 9.5.1 . I can upgrade it through the App Store, assuming the upgrade is iPhoto and NOT Photo for Yosemite (I don't have Yosemite - was concerned about the issues I read about). BUT I have additional iPhoto libraries on two external hard drives - how do I upgrade these? I was going to put the entire set of libraries on one drive. Should I do that and THEN upgrade the iPhoto? I have loaded the photos onto cloud servers as well (I don't want to lose them) so have back ups covered.

Any advice for me?

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

You upgrade any and every library the same way: by opening it.

Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'

As for what you read about Yosemite: go back and read what they said about whatever version of the OS you are running... Remarkably similar you'll find.
