Abstract

My task is to outline our present observational knowledge of the occurrence of lithium in stellar atmospheres. On account of the limited time, I shall not attempt to include a description of the situation in post-main sequence stars. Also for shortness of time, forgive me if I do not stop at each point to give due credit to the astronomers who have contributed to that topic.
