New and gently used books, puzzles, games, activities, events, space rental, Barton Reading Tutoring & Executive Function Skills Coaching.

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.

Some of my favorite books for reluctant readers just arrived back in stock. 🎣📚

Kevin Lovegreen’s Minnesota-written hunting & fishing adventure books have been a HUGE hit — especially with kids who don’t usually get excited about reading.

High-interest stories, approachable reading level, and perfect for summer cabin/lake reading.

Ages 7–12-ish, but especially great for those “I hate reading” kids who just haven’t found the right book yet. 😉

Open Friday & Saturday this week!

🌧️ Rainy lake weekend days were made for bookstores. 💛

We’re open until 4 PM today if you’re out and about looking for a cozy stop — books, games, imagination, conversation, and a little wandering-around magic.

It’s been such a joy seeing families, kids, readers, and curious explorers filling the space again this weekend. 🥹
