Currently, I am looking for away to show my Library folder in my Home folder. I googled it and everyone says I can check the "Show Library Folder" box under View Options however, I don't have that option.
How can I fix this?
Here's a screenshot of what I get
Thanks

You need to open your Home folder to get that option.

Make sure you're in your Home folder before you bring up the View Options.
Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
Pick one of the following methods:
A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
~/Library
Press the Go button.
Thanks the terminal option worked.
Any reason why the option under View Options was not showing up? I am in the Home Folder when I go to view options.
I have the Home Folder Open and still don't have that option under View Options
You must be in the Home folder in order to enable that.
That option only appears in Mac OS X 10.9 and above.

Thanks guys, I figure it out.
It wasn't showing up because I had finder viewing the folder and content sin the hierarchy view.
Changing it to just the folder showed all the options.
Thanks for the help.
