WEST UNIVERSITY PLACE, Texas (KTRK) -- Ashly Horace, a Houston graduate student studying library science, has felt comfortable within the walls of the library.As part of her graduate work, Horace has been to libraries across the area to observe song and play through story time. It wasn't until her encounter at the West University branch that she faced a problem, and she believes she was targeted because she is black."As soon as I got to the door, a lady stood in front of the door, blocking the door, almost as if she didn't want me to come in," Horace recalled. "She said, 'Well, why are you here?' I said 'I'm here for story time.'"Eventually, she got in and sat in the back of the room. A few minutes later, the same employee told Horace her manager said she had to leave."She said, 'If you don't leave right now, I'm going to call the cops.' And I was like, 'Call the cops? What did I do?' She was like 'I'm going to call and tell them you're trespassing,'" Horace continued.Five West University Place police officers responded to the library.After speaking with Horace and the manager, they told the grad student the manager has the right to ask whoever she wants to leave and said this appeared to be a misunderstanding.In audio from one of the officer's body cams, Horace explains the situation."She's making a big deal out of this. I didn't do anything. I didn't even get out of my chair," Horace said in the recording.An officer replied: "I'm not going to cite you or anything like that. There's no criminal violation or anything like that, OK?"In the day and age where people of color have had 911 called on them for arguably innocent reasons, Horace feels there was more to this."I said, 'You know, why are you doing this? If my skin wasn't brown, you wouldn't be doing this.' And she kind of looked, like, shocked," Horace recalled.According to Harris County Public Library officials, Horace was asked to leave because she didn't have a child with her during story time. Even though that's not a written policy, they do consider it a "best practice," because they've had incidents where people have shown up to play with other people's kids.They call it a case of miscommunication, and say she's welcome back to story time as long as she gives advance notice.Horace says she still doesn't have a clear understanding of what happened."I was almost shell-shocked, like, what is going on?"Horace wasn't a stranger to the West U library branch. She had applied to be a story assistant volunteer, so they knew her name and were familiar with her. She says she'd ultimately like to see the branch manager fired, because she fears other people of color may be treated the way she was.
