Just started a myspace for my library and things have gotten out of control! The person who helped set it up added herself as a 'friend' (she's a library employee). Her myspace was filled with sexual content. Her co-workers complained notified HR and now, HR Univ. Relations and the Univ. lawyer are involved. All because of a link! I've been chastised for not running it through a committee first.
Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh - Main's Teen area has one: www.myspace.com/clpteens
Parma Library in Hilton, NY has a myspace account too!

The Western Branch of the St. Joseph County Public Library in South Bend, Indiana has a myspace profile called Western Teens.
Phoenix Public Library has one.
Teen Central, really.

Ball State University Libraries' MySpace at http://myspace.com/brackenlibrary
We here at the University of Central Florida Libraries' Ask a Librarian reference service have started a MySpace profile (http://www.myspace.com/ucfaskalibrarian) to promote ourselves to our target market. We've also created a MySpace group for libraries to network and share ideas for using the medium (http://groups.myspace.com/myspacelibraries). We're still in the beginning stages, but we've found that it can be a valuable promotional tool for our service. After less than two weeks of being "live" we have over 630 students (and growing!) who have accepted our friend requests. MySpace members who identify themselves as current students of our University total over 20,000. Not too shabby for a service that has "peaked".
There's a good list here for best practices (libraries w/myspace for teens): http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=MySpace_%26_Teens

I made our myspace page in January. It's been great. We have a group of teens that have messaged and thanked us for the page as we use it to send out bulletins about our monthly indie teen bands shows (and they can watch clips from the shows there too). I also had a teen ask via myspace for reading suggestions because she was out of ideas.
