A log book is a book in which someone records details and events relating to something, for example a journey or period of their life, or a vehicle.
In corporate buildings, I always see log books near the security area/concierge so they can record the names of the visitors who come in and out of the building, and the time they went in and out as well, for security purposes.

It's British english really I think, but there's also 'jotter'
