Navigate to the location of your second library and click OK.
Merging two libraries:
This can only be done after you've added the second library. Select all the books in the library you want to merge, right-click and select Copy to library. After the books have been copied to the second library, you can delete the first library (right-click on the library icon -> remove library; note that you can only delete a library you're not currently in). For finding any duplicate books after merging, you can use the Find Duplicates plugin.

May be picking nits here, but an important -- critical, even -- first step is to get copies of both libraries on a single laptop. (It's not recommended to use libraries on network shares.)
Then you can switch between the two, or copy the contents of one to the other.
(I once had to update documentation that gave instructions on exactly how to insert diskettes into a computer -- "metal edge first, label side up" -- because we discovered it was not as obvious as we expected...)
