Photos has no direct tools to merge libraries in a lossless way; only iCloud Photo Library can do that. If you upload one library after the other to iiCloud Photo Library the libraries will merge in iCloud and download as a merged library to the last library you synced with iCloud. This will require to sign up for enough cloud storage to hold both libraries, see: Notes on Merging Photos Libraries
