Cheshire East Council is to give free wi-fi access to library members.
The service will be available across all of its 16 libraries where members will be required to log in using their existing membership number and password/PIN.
The service is part of the Council's aim to help people get on line more easily and promote digital inclusion across Cheshire East.
The service will adopt the security filtering as on its public network in order to safeguard young people.
Councillor Les Gilbert, Cabinet member in charge of communities, at Cheshire East Council said: "I'm really pleased we are making it even easier for many people across Cheshire East to get online.
"The Council is committed to promoting a digital economy and residents can access a whole of range of services from our website as well as the wider internet in a safe and secure way. It's another example of the way we are putting residents first."
Anyone who isn't a library member can easily join free of charge, you just need to take one proof of identity showing your name and address.

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
Get range extenders to increase coverage. Free town wifi is increasingly common across the world. No reason why Wilmslow shouldn't have it too.
It's a 21st century innovation that will help sell us to visitors, including businesses considering relocation. A GIgabyte service? Why not .......
It's petty cash to the library service, with huge benefits for the town.
Our new Chinese visitors will expect it of course.
S106 monies for such a project must be available. I commend this to our Council.
