I want to copy an album from my mums laptop so in finder can I find the album in the photo library package?

The easier thing would be to chose the Album/Event or photos you want, select them, then choose File -> Export.

This will export the images out to a directory for you.

You can always poke around in the iPhoto Library Package, but not sure if all the images are in the same place.

Saty out of the finder! Mucking about in there will corrupt/lose your photos. Do anything and everything to/with your photos from within the app! As Kevin said, use the import/exprot function. Safest way!
