Oct 16, 2015 6:32 AM in response to netta.porterby LarryHN,YOu never import a library - you migrate it
what format is the external drive? TO work with Photos it must be Mac OS extended (journaled) - and it needs to be connected with a fast wired connection and to not b being use as a TimeMachine backup volume
If it meets the requirements then simply drag it to the Photos icon in the Dock and Photos will migrate it setting up hard links to the originals and previews on that disk - Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support
If this does not work backup your iPhoto library and hold down the option and command keys while launching iPHoto and repair permissions then rebuild the database and drag this rebuilt database to the Photos icon
