Where is my Home Library Folder in El Capitan?

I need to access my User/Username/Library/Containers and I have no way to do it. Is this a hidden folder now? Please help!

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

Remember that theres actually three different library folders, but really two that's related to what your doing. Theres your Global library HD>Library and your User Library HD>users>username>Library. These are totally different folders and the Option key while pressing go in finder and the Command+j menu option already talked about are only for your user library and the show library box wont be listed if your on the global library. Saw some people talking about this so thats maybe what the issue is and also you might be hitting the commands while your in the wrong directory or folder. I also Have SIP disabled so I might have a little different functionality than you may. You can also get to both directories very quickly by opening a finder window and pressing Shift-command-g and enter ~/library for your user library and /Library for your global library. Hope this helps.
