    Using Go and searching for Users/myname/Library has revealed the Library folder. But there does not seem to be a way of getting it to show in the usual way like other folders.

     

    Anyway - sorted!!

To get your ~/Library folder to show permanently, open your home folder in the Finder, then from the menu bar select View --> Show View Options (or just hit Command-j). In the View Options window that pops up, there will be an option to "Show Library Folder". Just check the checkbox next to that option and your Library folder will be permanently visible.
