Upon completing my day in the hotel room; I received a phone call from the Chief Pilot at the Operations Control Center. He informed me that I had flown an aircraft three legs with open logbook discrepancies. During my preflight at the origination of the pairing; I did a logbook check; but failed to notice that the maintenance items written up had not been closed out. My attention was focused on the missing terminating fuel from the day prior and then the subsequent search to get that information so I could complete the morning fuel audit. I overlooked the fact that the writeup had not been closed out and signed off by a Mechanic.In analyzing the chain of errors; I was the last safety gate. The terminating Crew from the previous night should normally have let Dispatch know that there were open writeups remaining in the logbook; and Maintenance on the overnight should have also made sure the logbook was clear after completing any open writeups. If I had done a complete logbook check; I would have caught that the entries were still open; but I did not catch it.
It was the first flight of the day. We departed with three open writeups in the Maintenance logbook that were not addressed overnight. With extra time; I could have also reviewed the Maintenance logbook. Due to the COVID-19; I used the extra time outside my duties to disinfect my work area.
Pilots reported being advised that the aircraft was flown with open write ups on three legs.
