How do I change the storage location to a different internal hard drive in the new Photos?

I have installed a small internal SSD in place of the optiacal drive, that I use only to run the IOS and applications. However photos automatically stores photos in my SSD. Dragging and dropping the 'photos library' file just copies the library then new photos are still saved to the SSD. How can a change the storage location into my internal HDD?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Drag the library to the new location and then hold down the option key while launching Photos to select the new location

Would never have worked that out, thank you for the speedy response. Worked well and had no problem completely deleting the old library to avoid any confusion.
