Hi Areil Delphinus,

a. Were the pictures showing up in the Pictures library earlier?

In case the files were showing up earlier in the Pictures library, and now the pictures have gone missing, you may restore the default libraries.

1. Click Start and select Computer.
2. In the Navigation Pane (on the left hand side), right-click Libraries and select Restore default libraries.

This would restore Libraries to its original state.

If you have your pictures saved on a different location on the hard-disk, you may include those folders in the library.

A library gathers content from various folders. You can include folders from different locations in the same library, and then view and arrange the files in those folders as one collection. For example, if you keep some of your pictures on an external hard drive, you can include a folder from that hard drive in your Pictures library, and then access that folder's files in your Pictures library whenever the hard drive is connected to your computer.

Refer the following Microsoft article for more information:
