Compress Photos Library Mac

Hey everyone,
I have an issue with my iPhoto library size and I'm hoping someone can help me. I am trying to give my Mac a 'diet' so to speak - I'm working through eliminating all languages I don't speak from apps and have gotten rid of all printer drivers I don't use. That said, I want to trim down my iPhoto library as well without deleting any of my pictures. As it stands right now, my iPhoto library is just shy of 10GB and I was wondering if there is anything I can do to compress it or if I can delete any folders that are safe to remove.
Thanks in advance!
