We present WIYN/Hydra spectra of 34 red giant candidate members of NGC 188,which, together with WOCS and Gaia data yield 23 single members, 6 binarymembers, 4 single nonmembers, and 1 binary nonmember. We report [Fe/H] for 29members and derive [Fe/H]$_{\rm{NGC188}}$ = +0.064 $\pm$ 0.018 dex($\sigma_{\mu}$) (sky spectra yield A(Fe)$_{\odot}$ = 7.520 $\pm$ 0.015 dex($\sigma_{\mu}$)). We discuss effects on the derived parameters of varyingYale-Yonsei isochrones to fit the turnoff. We take advantage of the coolest,lowest-gravity giants to refine the line list near Li 6707.8 \AA. Usingsynthesis we derive detections of A(Li) = 1.17, 1.65, 2.04, and 0.60 dex forstars 4346, 4705, 5027, and 6353, respectively, and 3$\sigma$ upper-limits forthe other members. Whereas only two of the detections meet the traditionalcriterion for "Li-richness" of A(Li) > 1.5 dex, we argue that since the clusterA(Li) vanish as subgiants evolve to the base of the RGB, all four stars areLi-rich in this cluster's context. An incidence of even a few Li-rich stars ina sample of 29 stars is far higher than what recent large surveys have found inthe field. All four stars lie either slightly or substantially away from thecluster fiducial sequence, possibly providing clues about their Li-richness. Wediscuss a number of possibilities for the origin for the Li in each star, andsuggest potentially discriminating future observations.
