Narrative:
I was the first officer on a flight segment which was operated with an open flight attendant maintenance log cabin discrepancy. The previous leg of the trip was flown by the same crew. While in the cabin and prior to my exterior preflight, I was informed by the lead flight attendant of the write-up. A maintenance crew was on board tending to an aircraft maintenance log discrepancy, and I was told by the flight attendant that they had been notified. By departure time, I simply had forgotten about the flight attendant write-up. The captain was never informed by any means of the discrepancy. I believe this occurrence would have been avoided if the lead flight attendant would have presented the cockpit crew with a copy of the flight attendant logbook, which is the standard means of notification.

Title: MULTIPLE PLT RPT ON LOGBOOK DISCREPANCY CAUSED BY THE PURSER NOT NOTIFYING CREW OF ENTERED ITEMS.
Narrative: I WAS THE FO ON A FLT SEGMENT WHICH WAS OPERATED WITH AN OPEN FLT ATTENDANT MAINT LOG CABIN DISCREPANCY. THE PREVIOUS LEG OF THE TRIP WAS FLOWN BY THE SAME CREW. WHILE IN THE CABIN AND PRIOR TO MY EXTERIOR PREFLT, I WAS INFORMED BY THE LEAD FLT ATTENDANT OF THE WRITE-UP. A MAINT CREW WAS ON BOARD TENDING TO AN ACFT MAINT LOG DISCREPANCY, AND I WAS TOLD BY THE FLT ATTENDANT THAT THEY HAD BEEN NOTIFIED. BY DEP TIME, I SIMPLY HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE FLT ATTENDANT WRITE-UP. THE CAPT WAS NEVER INFORMED BY ANY MEANS OF THE DISCREPANCY. I BELIEVE THIS OCCURRENCE WOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE LEAD FLT ATTENDANT WOULD HAVE PRESENTED THE COCKPIT CREW WITH A COPY OF THE FLT ATTENDANT LOGBOOK, WHICH IS THE STANDARD MEANS OF NOTIFICATION.
