The role of nova outbursts in the galactic lithium production is still controversial. Photoionization model calculations of nova shells are presented in this contribution, aiming to identify the optimal post-outburst phase for detecting lithium emission lines from nova ejecta which may confirm its lithium enhancement. Predictions for the Li I λ6708 Â flux are made as a function of the envelope geometry, its physical parameters and properties of the central ionizing source.
