I’m a brand new GM - only ran DnD 5e a couple times and my group wants to switch to something a bit more imaginative and less combat heavy so we chose Cairn.

I’m a bit confused as the when some of the tables should be used - mainly Minor Loot, Treasures, Relics, and Spellbooks.

As a GM, do I insert encounters where finding these items are possible?

Put the items in the encounters! As loot, something to fight/bargain over, etc. It's possible that some creatures don't understand what they have, whilst other creatures might want to harm the PCs to take items from them.

I ended up running this last night for four first time players and everyone had a blast! The Tavern and Great Oak were the highlights from my group.
