Hi guys.

After upgrading to 10.7 Lion on my 2011 MBP, Ive notice that the library folder in now gone!?

There use to be 2 library folders.
One in the user and another in the system (finder).
It seems like both have disappeared.
The first thing I knew after upgrading to Lion was that the original "finder" list was gone from the Finder.
(It was there before "All My Files" and "AirDrop")

Anyone know where I can access the Library folder?
I really need these folders right now.

Thanks.

Please please please search the site before you post your question here with lots of question marks and exclamation points. This has been covered ad nauseum, probably even in some of the reviews of lion in addition to this site. The library folder in a User's home folder has been hidden by default. If you feel like using the terminal, you can remove the hidden flag with
Code:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
or you can simply hold down the option key when you click on the "Go" menu in Finder and it will show up there.

Thank you and sorry for my unprofessional questioning.
Unfortunately I am not home with fast internet but out in the public at the moment with really really slow internet. And as I said, I was in urgent need of the library folder.
Thank you once again.
