Hi!
iPhoto DOES allow multiple libraries! You must hold down "opt" as you open it, and iPhoto asks you if you want to choose or create a new library! I have separate libraries for my scrap supplies, old family scanned photos, and current digital photos.
ALSO-- MOST IMPORTANT-- iPhoto Preferences allows you to create a library WITHOUT COPYING PHOTOS. That means you can leave your scrap stuff where it is, keep your iPhoto library relatively small, and yet access thousands of items with iPhoto. In Preferences>Advanced, uncheck "copy items to the iPhoto library." My iPhoto Scrapbooking library has almost 6,500 items (I'm an addict), but it is only 400 MB or so and I have experienced no slowdown in performance.
I don't see any reason to purchase any additional software since iPhoto does the job.
