Pick "choose an alternate location" instead of a drive letter.
Then pick your existing steam library.

I never understood the whole "your non steam pictures are bad fu" thing but here's a screenshot of the reply I get when attempting to do what you've suggested.

So if you installed Steam to a drive that already has a separate library folder, you won't be able to add that as another library folder.
Unless you can install Steam do a different drive, you'll have to take the library folder that you want to add and merge into the one that is within the Steam folder.
I don't know what your folder structure is, but you should be able to extrapolate from instructions and adapt them to your own setup.
I'm assuming the drive is G:
You already have a library on it at G:\STEAM\steamapps\common\
G:\STEAM\ is the library folder.
You installed Steam to the G: drive, let's say it is at
G:\Steam_Client\
It also has a
G:\Steam_Client\steamapps\common\
So you currently have a library of
G:\Steam_Client\
And you are trying to add
G:\STEAM\
which the client won't allow.
Shut down Steam completely, as in Exit Steam, not just click the X to close the window.
Take the G:\STEAM\steamapps\ as a whole and copy it to the G:\Steam_Client\ folder. Hope you have the drive space for a copy, but I would rather copy than move just in case something goes wrong. But you can move it there if you're comfortable with it. Up to you.
If Windows ask to merge or overwrite, just keep clicking yes or ok, whatever makes it work.
Once the Copy is complete, boot up Steam and it should see all of the games again. It may think it needs to "update" a bunch. It's just verifying your license and checking for an update.
After that if you're confident that everything copied over, you can then delete the G:\STEAM\ folder as you would have copied over everything that is important.
Good luck.
If you don't want to move things around or create symbolic links, you could manually execute Steam's add library command and get around the one drive per library stipulation:
