There’s no credible evidence that Keanu Reeves secretly built a $10 million library in Toronto named after his mother or appointed her as a librarian. Here’s the verified information:

Keanu Reeves grew up in Toronto and has spoken warmly about the Toronto Reference Library—even specifically thanking it in his Canada’s Walk of Fame speech

His mother, Patricia Taylor, was a showgirl and costume designer—not a librarian—though Keanu has consistently expressed gratitude for the arts and education, values she instilled

Reeves is known for his quiet philanthropy, particularly in supporting children’s hospitals and cancer research through a private foundation

While Keanu Reeves is a thoughtful, generous figure who values libraries and education—and has paid tribute to them publicly—there is absolutely no proof he funded or built a private library in Toronto in his mother’s name. The story appears to be fabricated.

However, if you’d like, I can share genuine and touching examples of his charitable efforts or his real connections to Toronto and memories of his mom. Just let me know!
