On the family's iMac my wife and daughter have separate user accounts, each with their own iPhoto library. My wife has asked me to consolidate both libraries into a single library for convenience.

What is the best way to do this? Can it be done with the existing software and utilities that come with Snow Leopard or is there a 3rd party utility that facilitates the process?

Thanks in advance.

There's a third party application named iPhoto Library Manager which seems to have a good reputation for merging, splitting and generally managing your iPhoto Library:

Here's a picture of it in action

well, while waiting for reply of fat cat software to my question whether iPLM can do that or not, I found another way — hacker.klever.net/n/2012/08/11/… ;-) – Michael Krelin - hacker Aug 16 '12 at 21:13

Wow, you went to quite some effort there! I guess that exposes what iPLM does behind the UI. Good for hacking, not for the faint-hearted though. – JBRWilkinson Aug 17 '12 at 12:29
True, not unless with some understanding. – Michael Krelin - hacker Aug 20 '12 at 19:21
