Source
Taz, Siman 384, Se'if Katan 1: "And it seems obvious that a mourner is permitted to use the items related to the Torah when they read, such as rolling and the like, because reading alone is forbidden to him due to the verse 'gladden the heart.' And so I saw in the glosses that these are the words of Rabbi R"Ch, who was in mourning on Monday and Thursday, and they prayed Selichot with him and read the Torah, and he rolled the Torah scroll, etc., and this is brought in Drisha."
