I have videos that I do not want to lose, so if I have backed them up to icloud and then want to delete them from ipad to make room for more, will they still be in icloud photo library?

Welcome to iMore! If you delete videos (and photos) from your device they will also be deleted from iCloud Photo Library. I recommend using a third part backup service like Dropbox or OneDrive, to back up your videos before deleting them from your iPad.

Are you talking about videos you shoot with your phone or movies? Videos are deleted from both, but movies remain in the cloud if you delete them from your iPad. This way you can stream them when connected to wi-fi or cellular and they won't take up space on your iPad. You can also choose to download them directly to your device for offline viewing.
