How do I rename a Photos Library?

I have numerous Photos libraries. I need to rename one (it's not the main iCloud Library), but cannot find how to do it. Can someone help? Thank you!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Locate the library in your /Home/Pictures/ folder and rename it as you rename any file. Photos opens a default library named Photos.library. You will need to point Photos to the desired library then use Photos preferences to set it as the "system library." Alternatively, hold down the OPTION key then start Photos. A file dialog will appear asking you to select the library you want to open and use.
