The study of lithium depletion in solar-type stars should help elucidate essential properties of convection in those objects. Recent high-quality observations have revealed extensive flaws in our understanding of this phenomenon. The state of our knowledge of Li depletion is reviewed, with a brief possible explanation of it all.
