how to migrate SharePoint 2010 list and libearies?

Hi Sures,

You mentioned about list/ Libraries (Yes for migration) and Farm (No for migration). In between we have web applications, site collections and sites, what is the scope of your migration also do you want to preserve the version history, Audit log, Are there any content types associated? Solution varies based on the requirement.

Assuming that all lists/libraries are in a site collection, you shall follow below approache

Content Database Detach Attach method, since SP 2013 authentication model is different from SP 2010 it needs some preparation before actual process, all such steps are well explained in this article http://www.sharepointdiary.com/2013/09/migrate-from-sharepoint-2010-to-2013-step-by-step.html
Third Party Tools, I prefer sharagate very simple and clean.

AvePoint – DocAve Migrators
Metalogix – Content Matrix
Sharagate

In case of less migration volume, not worried about version history and there no custom content types. You shall simply move the document across the environments using windows explorer mode option. For lists export import using excel should work.

You will find lot amount of material with detailed steps in the internet as well, I hope I answered your question.
