Head Covering in the Presence of Holy Books

Question

Is a married woman required to be careful about covering her head in the presence of holy books?

Answer

Shalom!
The hair of a married woman has the same status as other areas of her body that are normally covered. Therefore it should not be uncovered in front of books.
