CSOM: Determine if the List / Library is visible in the UI

Question

I'm new to SharePoint CSOM and I'm trying to get a list of SP Lists/Libraries.

Here's my code:

public LinkedList<string> getLibraries() {
        Web site = spClientContext.Web;
        spClientContext.Load(site.Lists);
        spClientContext.ExecuteQuery();

        LinkedList<string> libraries = new LinkedList<string>();
        foreach (List list in site.Lists)
            libraries.AddLast(list.Title);

        return libraries;
    }

When code is executed CSOM returns all libraries, even those that are hidden from the web interface.
Something like this:

How can I determine which List/Library to display in my list so that it matches SharePoint UI visible lists?

Just check list.Hidden property, then add in libraries

foreach(List list in site.Lists) {
    if (!list.Hidden) {
        libraries.AddLast(list.Title);
    }
}

One more question, I have the similar issue with folders, I getting folders which are not visible in the Web UI. Folder's do not have the Hidden property, how do I filter those? – Brlja Feb 22 '16 at 14:46
