FREE Wi-Fi will be available at libraries, museums and children's centres in Wharfedale and Aireborough next year.
Leeds City Council has just introduced the service at Leeds' Central Library and Art Gallery, and plans to roll out the scheme to 103 public buildings by the end of January.
The authority hopes the move, which will allow people to use their own phones, tablets and laptops at the venues, will help more residents get online.
Executive member for digital and creative technologies, Councillor Lucinda Yeadon (Lab, Kirkstall), said: "This project will be a huge leap forward for our ambition to get Leeds online and we couldn’t have picked two better pilot sites to highlight what a difference it will make.
"Wi-Fi is an integral part of life in Leeds today, and providing it for free at all our public buildings will mean we can ensure thousands more people are able to take advantage of the huge wealth of opportunities the Internet can provide."
