I want to delete my photo library to make room on my mac. It's taking up a huge amount of space. I'm able to do it on the iphone pretty easily, but i can't figure out how to do it on my mac. Thanks.
Macbook Pro 17 inch 2.3 ghz, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
Do you want to stop using Photos completely? Then do this:
By default your Photos Library.photoslibrary will be in your Pictures folder.
If you are using iCloud Photo Library, you should wait for the upload of your photos to iClod to finish, before you delete the Photos Library.

If you are using iCLoud Photo Library as you state then you can not - every change made on any device is made on all devices - the ICPL solution for limited space is to use optimized photos on the device with limited space
And of course you do not have to us ICPL if it does not do what you want
and If you are using ICPL you need to update your profile as you state there that you have OS X 10.6.7 which is not possible

Added: After you delete the Photos Library from your Mac you can only access the photos in iCloud using the web interface and the Photos.app on the www.icloud.com page. You cannot access iCloud Photo Library using Photos on your Mac, unless you make a photos library on an external drive your System Photos Library. As long as iCloud Photo Library is enabled on your Mac the photos will download again.
To avoid having a large Photos Library on your Mac
how can you Delete photo library on mac without deleting from icloud photo library
