Hello, I would like to ask if it is permissible for a woman to be near holy books without a head covering? Thank you very much.

Hello
According to the law, there is no prohibition.

Some have proven from the words of the Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Siman 75, Se'if 12, where it is written that it is customary to cover children so that they are not naked in front of the candles, due to the disgrace of the mitzvah. It is forbidden for anything called 'ervah' to be in front of holy words.
However, in truth, it refers to actual ervah, not every place that requires covering.
