How to transfer only photo library

Hi, I want to transfer only my photo libraries from an old Mac to a new one. Is there an option in Migration Assistant to only copy the one selected file?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.5

It's probably easiest to copy the library to an external drive and paste it on your new computer. Or, enable iCloud photos, sync to the cloud, and then disconnect iCloud photos (unless you use the service). The cloud option may be easiest but may require purchasing additional iCloud storage for a month.
