We report the discovery of 23 lithium-rich post-main-sequence stars,
identified from moderate-resolution SDSS spectroscopy and confirmed with
high-resolution spectra taken at the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. These new Li-rich
stars cover a broad range in mass and evolutionary phase, including bright
giants and post-AGB stars. The process responsible for preserving or producing
excess lithium in a small fraction of evolved stars remains unclear.Comment: 5 pages, XII International Symposium on Nuclei in the Cosmos, August
