Limited Access permission does not mean they can access other content. If these users also need to hit the homepage, you may also want to grant read permissions there, otherwise they'll get a 401.
In my experience I find it less complicated to grant access at the site level, and then break inheritance on libraries where I don't want that group to have access. More of a top-down approach.
