Q: Since updating to sierra my photos library must be repaired

I recently updated to Mac Sierra. Since the update, every time I open Photos I receive a message that my Photos Library has to be rebuilt. After several minutes, it says the library is rebuilt and I am allowed to proceed into the app. How can I fix this?

MacBook Air, macOS Sierra (10.12)

Where is your Photos library located? If on and External Hard Drive what format is it and how is it connected to your Mac?
