My "Library" is missing in Finder. How do I get it to show up?

My "Library" is not showing up when I bring up Finder. I was able to find the Library by Shift/Command/G while in Finder. When I found it, the word "Library" was greyed out and would not let me access it. However, when I dragged it to the sidebar, i can now access it.

How do I get the Library to show up where it is supposed to?

When I click on "Get Info" about the Library, it is greyed out there as well.

I have a MacBook, and the software is up to date on Lion.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Okay, I found a solution from another user question. The guess is that Apple did it on purpose so people like me wouldn't mess the library up. lol

It can be accessed by going to Finder, click on the word GO in the Menu/Title Bar at the top of the screen. Then the drop down menu comes up for GO. While the drop down is showing, CLICK AND HOLD OPTION. There you see the Library. However, if you let go of the Option key, Library disappears again.

Thanks for the help community!!! 😉
