Hidden user library folder on backup drive

I backed up my system using Carbon Copy Cloner and then did a fresh install. What I didn't do is unhide my user library before the backup. Now I need to access that folder on the backup drive but I can't figure out how or if it's even possible to do so. Any suggestions? I am trying to grab some preference files and that's it.

Use the Command-Shift-Period toggle, and see what shows up in Finder.
