How to Check if a Folder Already Exists?

Hey guys...need some help.

I am currently using the script below to find and see if a folder exists...but I found that the script only works for the desktop.

How can I change the "path to desktop" to point to my Library folder?

This is for an application I am making...so you will get credit in the app for helping me.

Script:

set location_folder to (path todesktop)

set check_foldername to (location_folder as string) & "RecoverMe"

tell application "Finder"

if (not (exists folder check_foldername)) then

makenewfolderatlocation_folderwith properties {name:"RecoverMe"}

end if

end tell

Thanks,

Adam B
