We introduce an approach to the concept of bornology in the framework of many-valued mathematical structures and develop the basics of the theory of many-valued bornological spaces and initiate the study of the category of many-valued bornological spaces and appropriately defined bounded "mappings" of such spaces. A scheme for constructing many-valued bornologies with prescribed properties is worked out. In particular, this scheme allows to extend an ordinary bornology of a metric space to a many-valued bornology on it
