On one of my Macs of course
As has been pointed out several times, bring up a Finder window, then press the following key combination:

Shift-Cmd-G

and in the pane, enter:

~/Library

or

/Library

depending on whether you need the library folder in your account or the system itself.

Show User ~/Library in OS X Lion


Launch Terminal from Spotlight or Launchpad -> Utilities, and enter the following command to show or hide the directory:

chflags nohidden ~/Library/

The users Library folder will immediately become visible again. Reverting this back to the standard Lion setting is simple too:

Hide User ~/Library in OS X Lion (default setting)
This returns to the default setting of hiding the user Library directory:

chflags hidden ~/Library

Changes take effect immediately again, and Library becomes invisible to the user.
