In OS X Lion and above, Apple has decided that mere mortals should not 
access the Library folder(s) and has hidden them away. They no longer 
appear in the Finder sidebar or menus. You need to know secret commands 
and actions to show the Library folders.

In Snow Leopard and below, your users will be able to see ~/Library in 
both Finder and standard file dialogs.
