Question

Shalom Rav. We pray Mincha every day in the office, and there are no holy books in the office. Is it necessary to say Tachanun without falling on the face?

Answer

Shalom and blessings,

As you wrote, in a place where there are no holy books, Tachanun should be recited, but not with falling on the face. 

[Many err and do not say Tachanun at all in such a manner, which is not according to Halacha].
