I seem to have lost iphoto and iphoto library on my iMac.  How can I recover?

iPhoto disappeared from my toolbar. I found an "iphoto library" in the trash can but it has today's date and when I access it it includes only a very limited number of my photos.
What can I do to try to find or recover my photos?

lets start by getting iPhoto back in the DOCK  --  launch it from the applications folder and in the DOCK right click and select keep in DOCK
as to backup - yes you must set backups up and keep them runing - the best first backup IMHO is Time Machine, it needa an external drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) that is at least 2 1/2 times the size of your main drive
As to your current problem - start by depressing the option key and launching iPhoto - use the select library command - what do you see? If there are multiple iPhoto libraries check one
