The Lionseed is a bookstore, learning commons and event venue open year-round and located in beautiful Battle Lake, Minnesota. We offer a great selection of gently used books, games and puzzles. Additionally, we offer Barton reading tutoring, executive function skills coaching, academic/career coaching services and PACER-informed resources and assistance for families of children with disabilities.

Tending Windmills, LLC (TWL) is our parent company focused on serving our local communities through creative educational and community-building endeavors. TWL was founded by owner/executive director Kristin Sawyer Lyman in 2017. We began by offering Barton Reading & Spelling tutoring for students with dyslexia and quickly expanded to include Executive Function Skills Coaching and Academic/Career Coaching services for neurodiverse K-12, post-secondary and graduate students. In 2020, Kristin was selected to become a PACER Parent Leader, which provided her with invaluable training to become a strong advocate and resource for students with disabilities.
