How to: Expose the /Library/ Folder in Lion
It's FREE
In all versions of Mac OS X, there’s a Folder named Library. This folder contains necessary files for your Mac to run correctly. For most users, he or she doesn’t need to ever go into this area. But for others, the Folder can contain files or other Folders that allows developers and troubleshooters to have access to certain necessary files.

Up until 10.7, this Folder was unhidden from view. Now (for what ever reason) Apple has decided to hide this Folder. There are two ways that one can get to it:
1. Finder:
– Select Finder from the Dock.
– Click on “GO” and then select “Go To Folder”.
– A window will pop-up.
– Type: ~/Library/
– Another Finder window will open showing its contents.
2. Terminal:
– Go to APPLICATIONS > UTILITIES > TERMINAL.
– Type in: chflags nohidden ~/Library/
To hide the folder again, type:
chflags hidden ~/Library/
That’s it.
