Are you running Photos or iPhoto on the old Mac?

How big is your library?

If your old mac is working, you can set up network sharing:

Set up file sharing on Mac - Apple Support


Or Target Disk mode:

Transfer files between two Mac computers using target disk mode - Apple Support


Or, of course, sneakernet.
