Narrative:

Departed bangor without aircraft logbook. Missing log was discovered after departure. Log is removed by maintenance. When aircraft is released from maintenance log is put in rack in crew break room. I was able to review logbook in break room but left it behind. It is unusual to have logbook any place other than in aircraft, there is no reason to remove it from the aircraft. This happened at a base I do not routinely operate out of with non routine procedures after working a long schedule. I feel fatigue, no routine preflight and failure to follow checklist contributed to this action.
