Hidden "library" folder in Finder
How do I see the hidden "library" folder under Documents/myname in Finder on the Mac? It used to be visible, but no longer.

Three Ways to Make the Home/Library Folder Visible
A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
B. Click on the Desktop, press the Option (⌥) key, 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
Click on the Go button.
Thank you Kappy!
Thank you VikingOSX. A simple solution that works!
I didn't miss it so much as I omitted it because it isn't present in all versions of OS X. So I skipped it so as not to confuse anyone. 😁
