I have an old MacBook Pro which has the iPhoto library on it. I would like to transfer these photos into my Photos library on my MacBook Air. I have backed up the iPhoto library using Time Machine and tried to copy from this but Photos does not recognise the file. Is there a mechanism to achieve this transfer?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

and you can not import any library, you open them and migrate to a Photos library
to merge them you need to use iCloud Photo Library - Notes on Merging Photos Libraries

Which version of iPhoto created the iPhoto Library?
If the library has last been used with iPhoto 7.1.2 or older, you need to prepare it with the iPhoto Library Upgrader Tool for the migration to Photos. Using the iPhoto Library Upgrader tool - Apple Support
